China’s exports of jet fuel have declined sharply in recent weeks amid the US-Israel war on Iran, leaving countries including Australia and Japan facing a supply crunch and scrambling to find alternative sellers.

China’s exports of jet fuel have declined sharply in recent weeks amid the US-Israel war on Iran, leaving countries including Australia and Japan facing a supply crunch and scrambling to find alternative sellers. China is Asia-Pacific’s largest jet fuel and kerosene exporter, but shipments from the country fell nearly 40 per cent month on month in March to 204,000 barrels per day, figures from trade data provider Kpler showed. The cutback is likely to hit hardest in Australia and Japan, which...

UK and European government bonds surged, sending yields tumbling, as oil prices slumped on hopes that the Iran war may end in the coming few weeks. Yields on gilts and euro area government debt in France and Italy slid 10 basis points or more, as markets scaled back bets for interest rate hikes this year. The German 10-year benchmark fell six basis points to 2.94%, the lowest since March 18. Brent crude oil dropped 5% to $98.65 a barrel. The latest moves follow comments from US President Donald Trump, who said he foresaw the war ending within two to three weeks. Bond markets have been roiled over the past month since the US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran as severe disruption to Middle East energy supplies and other exports sent inflation expectations soaring. The probability of a rate hike in April has now dropped below 50% for the European Central Bank and to about one-in-three for the Bank of England. Over the course of the year, markets are pricing monetary-policy tightening of about 60 basis points and 43 basis points respectively, the least since the middle of last month. “Following headlines about messages exchanged between the warring parties, markets will want to see whether this leads to a path toward de-escalation,” ING Bank NV strategists including Benjamin Schroeder wrote in a note. “The question that remains is how quickly energy flow can be fully restored, given the destruction already incurred.”

The healthcare sector in the United States is among the most complex sectors, as when a hospital treats a patient, it collects its money through insurance companies such as Medicare or Medicaid. However, this process is going through hard steps, including registering patient data and reviewing his insurance policy to make sure it covers his treatment and dealing with refusals of insurance companies to the hospital claims until it finally collects the bills. In addition, these processes that are full of human errors and costing healthcare providers billions of wasted money annually due to poor revenue management, so Ibex realized this problem and decided to work on it through relying on trained labor in the medical sector from higher margin offshore locations such as India, as it employed 1,000 employees providing RCM services, allowing it to take advantage of the currency difference as it pays employees' salaries in rupees and collecting revenues in US dollar. (IBEX) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Importantly, it integrated this workforce with its AI-powered Wave iX platform to reduce human errors coming from manual work, as it uses AI to accelerate routine tasks such as reviewing insurance policies and patient files to minimize the claims rejections from insurance companies and improve accuracy, and in the event of a tough issue or insurance rejection, an employee intervenes to handle the issue. This should provide hospitals with faster cash flows and reduce their cash burnout. This appeared in Q2 results, as the HealthTech segment recorded growth of 35% YoY, as it now represents 17.4% of the company's total revenues co...
